The best way of course is to put in a dedicated single 20 amp outlet with 12 gauge wire and 20 amp breaker. I believe code now calls for GFCI in garages.

Changing a plug will also work as long as...

Since you won't need the power steering when the big motor isn't running, you shouldn't have to worry about it killing a battery.

That is an annoying one, but Paradise City by Guns n Roses is the one that always gets me to switch stations. So repetitive I can't stand it.

I had a couple of those. I think they were called "Fish Trap". A quick search with that name turned up this website:

A five minute run to a fishing spot may recharge the starting battery, but it isn't going to do much for the house battery.

It seems like loons are doing pretty well compared to what they once were. I think the DDT ban was probably the biggest factor in their recovery. When I was young, I had never seen a loon until a...

Are you having some issues with the motor? The NGKs should last a long time. I would not change them without a good reason and would not use Autolites.

Water doesn't really mix with oil. If the motor has been run the combination has been described as looking like chocolate milk. Lower unit grease will do this too. If it sits long enough the water...

You can evaluate it yourself with a few simple calculations.


Power(watts) = volts x amps or amps = watts/volts

I think you are correct that something is hooked up wrong. On my Verado, the trim on the throttle only works if the key is on. I have always been a little annoyed by that. When you drive on the...

220 minute reserve capacity should mean it is about a 90 amp hour battery so it could support a 100 milliamp draw for 900 hours or 37.5 days. Sounds like a bad battery. Disconnect it and check...
